Why does the sea change colour from dark blue to light?

The color of the sea changes due to varying factors such as depth, sunlight, and the presence of algae and other marine organisms. In shallow waters, the sea appears lighter due to reflection and scattering of sunlight off the sandy bottom. Deeper waters absorb more light, appearing darker blue. Algae blooms can also affect the color of the sea, causing it to appear green or even red.


Why it is dark at the sea bed?

It is dark at the sea bed because light from the sun is absorbed by the water above, leaving little to no light that reaches the deeper parts. Additionally, particles in the water scatter and absorb light, further reducing the amount that penetrates to the sea bed.


Why do Sea areas of the moon appear dark because they to not reflect as much light as what ranges?

The dark areas on the Moon, known as maria, appear dark because they are ancient basaltic plains that formed from volcanic activity. These regions do not reflect as much light as the surrounding highland areas, which are composed of brighter materials like anorthosite. This difference in composition causes the maria to appear darker.


Why does the sea water look blue?

Clear sea water is intrinsically blue.* The thicker the observed sample is, the bluer it looks. In smaller water basins, like tap water bath's and swimming pools, water appears colorless.* Related Information:The blue color is caused by selective absorption of infrared spectrum of the sun light.Water doesn't derive its color from the blue sky. However, without sunlight water can't be seen as blue.Impurities dissolved or suspended in water may give water different colored appearances, which is more often the case in sea water and lower lakes (greyish brown) than is ice lakes higher in the mountains (blue).(cf. Related links for further detailed explanation on 'Why is water blue')This has nothing to do with the blue sky color:*The sky appears blue because blue light has a shorter wavelength than green and red light (blue light - 700nm, red light 400nm). Very small molecules in the atmosphere scatter blue light, where as green and red light passes straight through and we do not see it.
